Utah School Under Fire for Asking Students to Write ISIS Propaganda Poster
ABC News ^ | November 20, 2015 | ESTHER CASTILLEJO

The teacher, who's been on the job for just a few months, gave the in-class assignment to students in her two World Civics classes at Salem Junior High School in Salem, Utah, on Wednesday. About 60 students received the assignment, which required them to create a "neat, colored, professional" poster for the terrorist group, to "help students better understand the goals of terrorist groups and the methods they use to gain support," the assignment read.

The possibility of having to search for ISIS recruiting material on the web at a time when officials are looking to detect potential threats was alarming, Langston said.

"She did this innocently, she's a naive young teacher," Hiskey said. "She wants to do the right thing."

How about:

“Rape and kill the white infidel bitch who is my teacher!”

How would that go over, I wonder.

Good grief, where is this school? Manitoba?

I’ve never seen so many white people in one place.

...You are being way toooooo generous. She should be terminated immediately...

I dunno. I remember one very stupid, embarrassing thing that I did on my first job. It was as a newly minted radio DJ. That job is broad enough for a newby to say some very unfortunate things on the air. But, luckily for me, my boss and the radio station did not can me and I went on to be very successful in the field.

Since when are we going to allow anything but the American values of teaching being brought into our schools?

This teacher knew exactly what she was doing, good for her that she isn’t teaching my grandson, I would have shoved that crap up her butt and down her throat....and gladly paid the price of bailing myself out of jail....

How DARE we let this continue!!!

Classic literature is no longer in the curriculum;


If that means no one has to read “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” anymore, I’m all for it. Toss out “Moby Dick,” “A Tale of Two Cities,” and “Oliver Twist,” too.

I’d have them read “Catch-22,” anything by John Barth, Sinclair Lewis, maybe even F Scott Fitzgerald. And for advance placement, the short stories of Franz Kafka.

Think about this for a moment. How does drawing a poster help anyone understand the goals of terrorist groups?

Understanding the goals of terrorist groups REQUIRES research, not drawing.

That alone should get this teacher bounced. This isn't learning at all, it's babysitting and coloring.

Here is the school's lone "Health Teacher"

She looks like she enjoys her work -- teaching whatever it is that "Health Teachers" teach kids these days.

Wow! She let a picture be taken of herself without a burka? Must have been before her conversion.

I notice they’re all smiling like they had coat hangers in their mouths. The Joker looks sad in comparison.

Oh, you know, demonstrating anatomically correct dolls; asking kids things like how many guns there are in the house and whether their parents support Ted Cruz; helping the students fit condoms over bananas...

Her "learning exercise" should be to complete her own assignment using nothing but the Koran, and then write an analysis of the fundamental terrorism of Islam itself and the terroristic beliefs of ALL Muslims.

What struck me is that they have 18 Special Ed teachers.

Well, DUH! Happened in Utah. Could NEVER happen in a Red State, like Texas, where I live. Thank goodness too.
